Pokémon Diamond and Pearl are two new RPG games for the Nintendo DS. As usual with any new Pokémon game, not a whole lot is known about them, but some features and screenshots have been revealed. Over the course of many months, spanning mid to late 2005 to July 2006, several new Pokémon were revealed. In Japan, the games were unveiled and available for demo at the Pokémon Jungle Tour.
